Old people: is the world crazier now than it used to be?

Last lynching was in 1961 in USA.

yeah, things are much better.

Whether or not things are BETTER now was not the question. The question was about craziness.

We are in a state of craziness I have never seen in my lifetime, BUT, despite the craziness (because most of the craziness doesn't actually affect me or most people in a tangible way), today's world is better than ever. I would not want to go back in time to live at any time other than now. Our medicines are better. Our technology is better. Our entertainment options are better. Our quality of life is better. We have moved away from that racist symbol, the Confederate Battle Flag. We have more women and POC in politics than ever before.

It is the best time in the history of the world to be alive...it just unfortunately coincides with a ton of stupid crazy people out there.
